Marcus @ 03:23 pm

Finally got to Home Depot to pick up some wire, so that I could wire Marcus. I also glue sueded him. Both helped make him a lot more stable, but he is still really tight and still wants to snap over at the waist. The only thing that will help that is time and patience. I also readjusted the eyes in the open head, but they still don't look right to me. I'm not sure what the problem is; maybe it's just me, since they look like they should be positioned correctly. However, they may be a bit too close to the nose, and he could be a bit cross-eyed. Or maybe I should go up a size. Or maybe I should just not obsess over it.

Anyway, I commissioned a headpiece and necklace from Imperial Goth for him. Since she had to delay its construction, she was nice enough to make a full harem set for him, including the belt and ankle pieces. It turned out really nice, in greens and ambers with great leaf pieces. I took a few pictures. I wanted some outside, but the sun wasn't in the right place, and they didn't turn out all that great. If it clouds up tomorrow, I may try again.

Here's the first one, taken outside.

The rest are here.

A closer look at the headpiece and necklace.

This one was taken inside. Light wasn't good, but I kind of like the way it looks.
